Day 1 – Thursday 16th October Twelve students from New Rickstones Academy welcomed students and staff from Italy, Poland and Portugal for the third leg of the Comenius Project. Our partner countries were met at the airport and then taken to meet their host families at New Rickstones Academy. Our students gathered in the library, ready to meet their partners. Students taking part in the project are Darcey Spenner, Matthew Brewer, Callum White, Amber Chudleigh, Katie Osborne, Anna Locke, Jessica Padbury, James Cameron, Oliver Thornton, Anna Pringle, Penny Tuffey and Kaja Karpowicz. Many of the students had met their exchange partners before, on previous legs of the project (Portugal 2013 and Italy 2014), so were happy to be reunited and see each other again. Students are able to remain part of the project over the course of several years and so enjoy being able to build up a rapport together over time. (read more) at: Comenius third leg UK
